What’s truly funny about you’re criticism of Handy, Ilsa, is YOUR completely idiotic and moronic answer. More memory = faster computer? Bwahahaha!!! It’d help if you knew what you were talking about before calling someone else a moron, moron. ---

You’re the moron here, **Cnote**. You know exactly wha the fuck I meant. Increasing RAM decreases the amount of time spent by VMM swapping crap in and out of the RAM. Increasing RAM past the normal point of consumption by system processes will result in a much more efficient box. Fuck you and the horse you rode in on. :wally: ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Ilsa\_Lund \* > \*\*Thanks, **Jeff**. Own up, **CnoteChris**. \*\* I knew you were a dim bulb the second I read your response Handy’s post. Not only was it out there, and wrong, but it was so off it was funny. Anyone with a second grade education knows memory doesn’t equal dick, especially in the situation that the OP described. Your real error came in believing anything Jeff B had to say. He’s more of an idiot than you could ever be (And that’s a compliment, in a way). ---

So, a Pentium 1.2GHz running Windows XP will run just dandy on 32 MB or RAM? Get a clue, moron. Memory absolutely can make a big diference in performance in many instances. The less the system has to access the swapfile, the faster overall performance will be. And just because you’re obviously computer-retarded, here’s a [cite](http://www.hardwaresite.net/morememory.html). ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Q.E.D. \* > **So, a Pentium 1.2GHz running Windows XP will run just dandy on 32 MB or RAM? Get a clue, moron.** Just when I thought we were reaching the depths of stupid, to, amazing as it may seems, explain to some else how stupid someone _else_ is, someone **else** comes along and shows how even more stupid they are. This is fucking classic. Really, you guys are busting my seams. Look at the question. Look at what Ilsa wrote. Look at what I wrote. Look at what you wrote. Now, look in the mirror. All you’re going to be seeing is stupid. ---

I was addressing your incorrect contention that: > [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by CnoteChris \* > **Anyone with a second grade education knows memory doesn’t equal dick, especially in the situation that the OP described.** First of all, **Illsa** ’s reply _was not_\* addressed to the OP, but to a previous poster, who asked why the OP needed so much memory. You should try hooked on phonics, it works wonders with reading ability. Secondly, I’ve provided a cite that more memory _does_ improve overall perfomance (and yes, that does mean system speed). And just because you’re obviously stupid, here’s [another.](http://www.pcguide.com/ref/ram/sizePerformance-c.html) All you said was flat out “memory doesn’t equal dick”, which is clearly wrong. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Q.E.D. \* > \*\*Only if I get as snarky about it as **Chris** does. \*\* Are you fucking serious? You’re the pathetic fools that think it’s fun to rip and tear on a person who does nothing more than offer advice to others, often right, sometimes wrong, to others. If that’s the fucking bar that’s being set around here, and the determinate for starting a fucking thread against someone, with the purpose to ridicule and mock, than fucking Ilsa and your fucking ilk should be the first people hooted of this board. Your fucking misleading, stupid assed answer, as wrong as it was, is far more damaging than anything Handy said in that thread. I was wrong. The funniest part of this thread is your jumping on this completely misguided bandwagon and thinking by tearing on someone, for whatever stupid ass reason, when you can’t even get it right yourselves, was somehow going to make you look good around here yourselves. You look like the most jack-assed, idiotic, buffoon that this place has ever seen. ---

You care to show me where in this, or any other, thread I’ve posted anything “tearing on” **handy**? Hmmm? And I think you have me confused with someone else, as I posted no answer whatsoever to the OP in the linked thread, wrong or otherwise. Please pull your head out of your ass and get your facts straight before you go slinging accusations. ---
